title: [Heat production, blood flow, O2 uptake and CO2 output in the secretary process of the dog submandibular gland (author's transl)].
abstract: 1. Under normal circulation of the dog submandibular gland, the electrical stimulation induced a massive salivary secretion (about 0.35 ml . min-1.g-1 gland weight) and an increase in the glandular temperature (about 0.2 degrees C). The heat production was calculated of about 60 mW.g-1. 2. Clamping of the glandular artery made both of secretion and heat production to be transient. The early peak of secretion was about 0.12 ml.min-1.g and that of heat production was 7 approximately 10mW,g-1. Then each 1 ml secretion followed about 4.6 J heat production. 3. Under constant blood flow in the glandular circulation, the secretory process was divided clearly into 2 phases of peak and plateau. The glandular temperature increased about 0.12 degrees C with an early temperature drop. In the secretory plateau phase, the secretary rate was about 0.043 ml.min-1.g-1, the heat production was about 5 approximately 7 mW.g-1 and each 1 ml secretion caused about 8.2 J heat production. 4. The rate of oxygen uptake was about 20.9 microl.min-1g-1 at the resting state. The maximum during secretion was about 192 microliter.min-1.g-1. THe half time of the recovery process of O2 uptake tended slightly longer than that of heat production. 5. THe rate of CO2 output was about 21.8 microliter.min-1.g-1 at resting. The maximum during secretion was about 142 microliter.min-1.g-1 R. Q. were about 1 at resting and about 0.74 under secretion.
